These results suggest that the exposure during late pregnancy to a clinically relevant concentration of sevoflurane does not affect neuronal development and learning/memory ability of offspring mice.
We report three cases of upper airway obstruction after extended-duration posterior cervical spinal fusion surgery. Two cases showed dyspnea and reduction in arterial oxygen saturation immediately or within a few hours after operation, requiring tracheal intubation. The other case, however, could not be extubated because the patient showed severe anterior neck edema. The risk factors of upper airway obstruction after posterior cervical spinal fusion surgery are as follows:extended-duration operation, multi-level spinal fusion, and rheumatic disease. In such cases, we should prepare to possibly re-intubate due to post-operative airway obstruction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
